In the professional debuts of rookies Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton, the Orlando Magic beat the Philadelphia 76ers 83-77 Saturday on the opening day of the Orlando Pro Summer League.

Gordon, the fourth pick in last month’s draft, scored seven points on 3-of-11 shooting. He added five rebounds, an assist and one spectacular block.

“I did OK,” Gordon said. “Shots weren’t dropping, but I shot the right shots and played good defense. I talked on defense, and we won. I made some good passes. I’m happy. It felt good being out there, so in my book, that’s a win.”

Payton, the draft’s 10th pick, scored two points and distributed five assists as he committed four turnovers.

In a scene reminiscent of Victor Oladipo’s pro debut in last year’s summer league, the Sixers consistently double-teamed Payton when he had the ball on the perimeter.

“I’ve just got to adjust on the fly and make plays,” Payton said.

Oladipo was Orlando's best player. The second-year guard spent the bulk of the game initiating Orlando's offense, and he finished with 18 points, six rebounds and three assists.

The game also marked the debut of Philadelphia center Nerlens Noel, the sixth overall pick in last year’s draft who missed all of last season as he rehabbed from a serious knee injury in college.

Noel ran fluidly and scored a game-high 19 points.

“It felt great today,” Noel said.

The game was marred by an injury to Sixers guard Pierre Jackson, a Baylor alumnus who played last year in the D-League and in Turkey. Jackson injured his right Achilles’ tendon during the second quarter and had to be carried off the court.

A Sixers official said the initial diagnosis was a rupture, but the official added that Jackson will be reevaluated.
